Funnily enough, we are now learning about...PLANTS!!! HA! Even though I have bad luck with real plants, I can totally deal with some paper plants. So today, I let the kids go crazy with butcher paper, and make a mess that totally stressed me (I *may* have a *tiny* OCD thing about a clean and organized classroom--I had to tell myself a few times to just PUT down the broom!), but the end results were too precious. I would brave the mess again for such cuteness.

Although I love craft templates, sometimes you need to give kids some paper, scissors, and glue, and let them just create. I LOVE how UNIQUE each flower is, and the kids were so proud that they made their special flower all by themselves!
oh sooo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSarah I'm totally with you when it comes to sometimes just letting kids get creative with the glue, paper, and scissors. The sunflowers are too cute!!
